Edible Skinny Does Angel City Brewery

Edible
Skinny was lucky enough to do Angel City Brewery this weekend (our father the
wannabe pirate Tony Thomas was in town!)

Angel
City Brewery is an old-world, small-batch, craft brewery located in the heart
of downtown LA. Its wares are available
in the greater LA area, as well as Las Vegas.Founded in 1997, the brewery relocated to the historic John A. Roebling Building in the Arts District in 2010.It’s
been a DTLA staple ever since!

While
ACB our favorite beers included the tart and refreshing light-bodied wheat beer
Berliner Weisse (which was perfect for someone looking for a girly beer aka ME)
and the Coconut Marzen, a traditional malty lager where unsweetened, toasted
coconut added to the mash to make for a tropical twist (Kelly’s BFF)!

Our
visit was perfect timing as Angel City Brewery’s ‘What Would You Brew?’ contest
is now open for public submissions. One lucky and creative winner will have the
opportunity to brew their beer with the Angel City brew masters.

"What
Would You Brew has been such a fun and challenging way to give the community a
closer look and deeper appreciation for the art of brewing,” said Layton
Cutler, brewer at Angel City Brewery. “The response has been fantastic, with
really creative and complex entries. Bringing the winners into the brewery to
actually make their dream beer come to life is really rewarding, for us and
them.”

What
Would You Brew 1 and 2 culled creative responses from across the Southland with
contributors submitting hundreds of incredible recipes and stories. 2013’s top
entry was a sweet and spicy Mexican Cola Beer from home brewer Emily Finch, and
2014’s winning entry was the intricate Desert Dreams by Lori Newman.

The
prize package also includes a custom kegerator, case of pint glasses, tap
handle, a tin tacker sign, and Angel City Brewery featuring the winning brew
during LA Beer Week 2016.Ideas can be
submitted here: http://angelcitybrewery.com/wwyb/. Entries will be accepted
through September 30, 2015.

Here’s
to life being delicious and crafting that perfect creative beer!
